Hi,
I've installed the extend 10.3.1 32/64 bit versions. In the 32bit version lib directory (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\extend 10.3.1\\AcuGT\\lib) there is a console application solution (crun32.sln) but there doesn't appear to be an equivalent in the 64 bit lib directory.
I was wondering why this is and if a 64bit console application is possible?
I don't normally install ACUCOBOL-GT (when I want a version, I build it from source!). So I'm not exactly sure what is and is not part of the installation.
However, I know we can build a 64-bit console runtime, and believe we actually do so when we create our installations. I suspect that the necessary libraries are installed when you install the 64-bit console runtime (which I believe you can do). Looking at the distributed solution file, it appears to only have 32-bit available, but it should be possible to add (using the Visual Studio Configuration Manager) to add the 64-bit product, and to build that. In other words, you may be able to copy and modify solution and project files to get what you want.
In other words, this is probably just an oversight on our part. We don't get a lot of requests about the console runtime!

Thanks for the reply. I looked into creating a 64bit solution, however the 64bit distribution does not have a 'crunlib.lib' file.
